The End of the Tour) latest, The Circle.
[amz asin=”0345807294″ size=”small”]Vikander is slated as the movie’s protagonist, a recent college graduate who lands a job with The Circle, a powerful tech company where she becomes close with its charismatic co-owner (Hanks). The film is based on the Dave Eggers (Where the Wild Things Are) novel of the same name.
The Circle will be produced under Hanks’ Playtone banner, which he shares with Gary Goetzman. Ponsoldt and Anthony Bregman (Foxcatcher) are also attached in the same capacity, while Walter Parkes and Laurie Macdonald (Flight) just joined the project before Cannes commenced.
This is just one Eggers adaptation Playtone is working on at the moment, as they produced, and Hanks also stars in, the upcoming A Hologram for the King. There’s no confirmation as to when that film hits the screen, but expect a festival run sometime in the fall. Meanwhile, there’s no talk yet of when Ponsoldt’s film hopes to get in front of cameras.
Vikander is next seen in this summer’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and then in The Danish Girl this fall alongside Eddie Redmayne. She also filmed roles with Bradley Cooper in Adam Jones, Michael Fassbender in The Light Between Oceans, and Kit Harington in Testament of Youth, and also soon appears in the Weinstein Company‘s Tulip Fever. She also was in Seventh Son earlier this year. Do you remember that? [THR]
